Jennifer Robyn Bernard, Beloved ‘General Hospital’ Star, Found Dead at 60
Jennifer Robyn Bernard, cherished by soap opera fans for her memorable portrayal of Terry Brock on General Hospital, has tragically passed away. Bernard was a familiar face to daytime TV viewers throughout the 1980s, starring in 145 episodes of the iconic series from 1984 to 1990. Her captivating performances left an indelible mark on the show’s loyal audience.
Authorities confirmed that Bernard’s body was discovered earlier this week in San Jacinto, California. Police responded to reports of an unattended death on Tuesday, and her identity was confirmed through fingerprint records. The Riverside County Coroner’s Office is conducting an autopsy, but the official cause of death has not yet been released.
While best known for her work on General Hospital, Bernard also appeared as a psychologist in the 2002 film Voices from the High School. After stepping back from acting, she remained a beloved figure among fans and colleagues alike, remembered for both her talent and warmth.
Her passing comes just weeks after the General Hospital family mourned another loss — Jackie Zeman, the beloved actress who brought Bobbie Spencer to life. The production team paid tribute to Zeman’s professionalism and kindness, saying, “She truly was the heart of the show. Even off-camera, Jackie embodied the kindness and spirit of Bobbie.”
As the General Hospital community grieves once more, fans remember Bernard’s enduring legacy and the joy she brought to daytime television.
